Pacers-Sonics Proposal; NEEDS LEAGUE APPROVAL

Pacers get:
SF Glenn Robinson
SF Leonard White
SG Lloyd Daniels
C Rich King
Sonics' 1995 2nd round pick

Sonics get:
PF Charles Barkley
SF Bryon Russell
Pacers' 1995 1st round pick

This deal will take Indiana over 15 players, so if it's approved, the Pacers will cut SG Craig Brown.

The Sonics get another dominant forward to line up next to Shawn Kemp, plus a first-rounder which, at the moment, appears to be a potential lottery pick. Russell will add defense off the bench. The Pacers bring a homestate kid home, and...well, we take on contracts which were needed to make a deal work. Daniels and King are highly likely to never see the court again, and White will have a rough time getting the 29 minutes per game that he was seeing in Seattle. He may, in fact, be used as a chip for a future trade.

3 of 5 votes (with explanations, please) needed to approve or reject.

Reject.

Seattle is rebuilding nicely. I see no reason they would take on Charles Barkley, who already plays PF where Kemp plays.

Barkley isn't better than Robinson (And is much older), the draft pick will suck when you add Glenn to Indiana & Leonard White is actually pretty good too. Trading for an older inferior player doesn't make sense, especially when the team is good and young now.
